Definitions
- the invention relates to a magnet core for low-frequency applications, which is made of a spiral-wound, soft-magnetic, nanocrystalline strip, the magnet core being particularly suitable for use in residual current devices (RCDs).
- RCDs residual current devices
- Residual current devices protect humans and equipment against electric shock.
- the energy for actuating the trigger which causes the disconnection has to be supplied exclusively by the residual current.
- Tripping currents 300 mA, 500 mA or 1000 mA are typical for the protection of equipment.
- the tripping current must not exceed 30 mA.
- Special devices for humans may even have tripping thresholds of 10 mA.
- the residual current devices have to operate faultlessly within a range between ⁇ 5° C. and 80° C.
- Residual current devices subject to enhanced requirements even have an operating range between ⁇ 25° C. and 100° C.
- AC-sensitive and pulse current-sensitive RCDs There is a distinction between AC-sensitive and pulse current-sensitive RCDs.
- AC-sensitive RCDs have to have the required sensitivity to sinusoidal residual currents. They have to trip reliably both at suddenly and at slowly rising residual currents, which involves certain requirements in terms of the eddy current behavior of the material.
- the residual current transformer is driven in a bipolar fashion. If there is a residual current, its secondary voltage has to be at least sufficient to trigger the magnet system of the trigger.
- a material is required which has as high a permeability as possible at the typical operating frequency of 50 Hz.
- Pulse current-sensitive RCDs moreover have to trigger reliably and independently of the direction of the current even at single- or double-way rectified currents with and without phase control and with a superimposed DC component.
- transformers with a circular loop only have a small unipolar induction stroke, so that the supplied tripping voltage may be too low at pulsed residual currents. This results in an increased use of transformer cores with a flat loop, which, although having a high unipolar induction stroke, have significantly lower permeability values than those with a circular loop.
- the tripping power to be applied by the transformer core should be as high as possible.
- the essential influencing factors are the geometry of the core and the magnetic properties of the material combined with the technological refinement of the material, for example by means of a heat treatment.
- NiFe alloys made of NiFe alloys were used almost exclusively.
- the highly permeable 75-80% NiFe materials also known as “ ⁇ -metal” or “permalloy” having a circular or flat loop were particularly suitable for sensitive operator protection devices. These materials have a saturation induction of approximately 0.8 T and reach maximum permeability values of 300 000 and more. This being said, their dynamic properties are not ideal for the transmission of the harmonic component in non-sinusoidal residual currents. This is due to the relatively great strip thicknesses of 50 to 150 ⁇ m and the relatively low resistivity of 0.5 ⁇ m ⁇ 0.6 ⁇ m. Furthermore, the adjustment of a suitable behavior of the temperature coefficient involves complex and costly heat treatment.
- EP 1 710 812 A1 relates to the same alloy and claims a field-induced quasi-Z-loop with ⁇ max >350 000 and a high remanence ratio of B R /B S >70%. At the same time, it is claimed that this maximum permeability is reached at applied field strengths between 5 and 15 mA/cm.
- the magnetization process of Z-loops is based on wall displacement processes the activation of which requires a minimum field strength depending on the material used
- the low-level signal permeability in particular the starting permeability such as ⁇ 1
- the frequency response of the permeability and the behavior in fast magnetization processes are not optimal, because permeability is reduced greatly even in the low-frequency range owing to pronounced eddy current anomalies.
- Such cores are therefore not ideal for low-level residual current signals.
- Such magnet cores are usually subjected to a heat treatment in the magnetic field. If this is to be economical, the cores have to be stacked for the heat treatment. Owing to the locus-dependency of the demagnetization factor of a cylinder, the stacked cores are magnetized in a locus-dependent manner in the axial direction even in weak stray fields such as the terrestrial field. In the anisotropies induced by the magnetic field, which are of necessity very small for the application in question, this results in a pronounced locus-dependent scatter of magnetic properties. These are for example reflected in permeability variations which require considerable sorting and after-treatment efforts in the manufacturing process. The dead weight of the stacked cores furthermore results in an asymmetric, magneto-mechanically induced course of the magnetic values along the stack.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,563,331 B1 proposes a continuous annealing method in which the cores are annealed individually and therefore actually field-free and without any mechanical loading.
- Starting permeability values ⁇ 1 >100 000 and maximum permeability values above 620 000 were obtained in this process.
- great permeability setbacks combined with increased coercitive field strengths and reduced remanence ratios are experienced here as well; these have so far not been explained. Similar effects were observed in stack annealing processes in conventional batch furnaces.
- the invention is therefore based on the problem of further developing the prior art referred to above and of providing from the alloy system (Fe 1-a Ma) 100-x-y-z- ⁇ - ⁇ - ⁇ Cu x Si y B z M′ ⁇ M ⁇ X ⁇ nanocrystalline annular strip cores having a maximum permeability for RCDs and which can moreover be produced efficiently on an industrial scale.

- X C, Ge, P, Ga, Sb, In, Be, As
- the present invention is further based on the problem of specifying a method for producing such an annular strip core which can be used efficiently in industrial-scale production.
- the starting material of these alloys is first produced as an amorphous strip using melt spinning technology.
- the annular strip cores wound from this material are subjected to a heat treatment in which the amorphous state is converted into a nanocrystalline two-phase structure with outstanding soft magnetic properties.
- An important precondition for obtaining maximum permeability values on an industrial scale across a wide field strength range of 1 mA/cm to above 50 mA/cm is a minimizing of magnetostriction (saturation magnetostriction) to values of
- the alloy spectrum has to be restricted on the one hand, and on the other hand in the heat treatment process the crystallization temperature has to be adapted alloy-specifically for the generation and maturation of the nano-grain in such a way that the volume fraction of the nanocrystalline phase having a low or even negative magnetostriction component is so pronounced that the high positive magnetostriction component of the amorphous residual phase is compensated for as well as possible.
- the magnet core for low-frequency applications is made of a spiral-wound, soft-magnetic, nanocrystalline strip, the strip essentially having the alloy composition
- FeRestCoaCubNbcSidBeCf wherein a, b, c, d, e and f are stated in atomic percent and 0 ⁇ a ⁇ 1; 0.7 ⁇ b ⁇ 1.4; 2.5 ⁇ c ⁇ 3.5; 14.5 ⁇ d ⁇ 16.5; 5.5 ⁇ e ⁇ 8 and 0 ⁇ f ⁇ 1, and cobalt may wholly or partially be replaced by nickel, the magnet core having a saturation magnetostriction ⁇ s of
- a strip which essentially has a specific alloy composition should hereinafter be understood to be a strip made of an alloy which may in addition contain production-related impurities of other elements in low concentrations.
- a sealing coating provided on the surfaces of the strip should hereinafter be understood to be a coating which tightly seals most parts of or even the whole surface of the strip.
- the magnetostriction of such alloys can to the largest extent be adjusted to zero by suitable heat treatment. This makes the magnetic values immune against mechanical influences, which enables a broad spectrum of core shapes and mountings to be used. Depending on the heat treatment used, the temperature characteristic of permeability can become negative, which may be advantageous in various embodiments of RCDs.
- the heat treatment is advantageously carried out in such a way that the local magnetostriction contributions of the nano-grain and the amorphous residual phase balance as well as possible.
- the strip surfaces have a noticeable trend towards crystalline deposits at the required temperatures above 540° C.
- these may consist of the known FeB 2 phases or of nanocrystalline deposits such as Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 and Nb 2 O 5 .
- Their generation is supported by the roughness of the strip surfaces, an increased strip thickness or an excessively low metalloid content, but also by metal/gas reactions between impurities in the inert gas and the strip surface.
- oxide surface layers such as SiO 2 plays an important part. The crystal anisotropies and strains developing in such surface effects result in increased coercitive field strengths, low remanence values and reduced permeability values.
- the formation of crystalline deposits can, however, be avoided by means of the sealing coating.
- the strip has a strip thickness d ⁇ 24 ⁇ m, preferably d ⁇ 21 ⁇ m.
- the strip has an effective roughness R a (eff) of R a (eff) ⁇ 7%, preferably R a (eff) ⁇ 5%.
- the effective roughness is in practical terms determined by means of the Rugotest or the profile method.
- the strip has a total metalloid content c+d+e+f>22.5 atomic %, preferably c+d+e+f>23.5 atomic %.
- the oxide coating contains magnesium oxide.
- the oxide coating contains zirconium oxide.
- the oxide coating may contain oxides of an element selected from the group of Be, Al, Ti, V, Nb, Ta, Ce, Nd, Gd, further elements of the 2 nd and 3 rd main groups and of the group of rare earth metals.
- Such a coating of the strip before heat treatment allows the heat treatment to be carried out at the relatively high temperature required for the adjustment of magnetostriction without having to deal with crystalline deposits and/or glassy SiO 2 layers and the resulting adverse effects on magnetic values.
- This procedure allows the production of magnet cores having a maximum permeability ⁇ 1 of ⁇ 1 >150 000, preferably ⁇ 1 >200 000, and the magnet core can have a remanence ratio of B R /B S of B R /B S >70%.
- the saturation magnetostriction ⁇ s can be restricted to
- the finished magnet core is no longer highly sensitive against strains.
- it can for example be secured in a protective tray using an adhesive and/or a ring made of an elastic material and placed on one or both of the end faces of the magnet core for cushioning.
- adhesives are silicone rubber, acrylate or silicone grease.
- the magnet core can be provided with an epoxy fluidized bed coating.
- such a magnet core is used in a residual current device.
- a method for producing a magnet core for low-frequency applications from a spiral-wound, soft-magnetic, nanocrystalline strip is provided, the strip essentially having the alloy composition
- FeRestCoaCubNbcSidBeCf wherein a, b, c, d, e and f are stated in atomic percent and 0 ⁇ a ⁇ 1; 0.7 ⁇ b ⁇ 1.4; 2.5 ⁇ c ⁇ 3.5; 14.5 ⁇ d ⁇ 16.5; 5.5 ⁇ e ⁇ 8 and 0 ⁇ f ⁇ 1, and cobalt may wholly or partially be replaced by nickel.
- the strip is provided with a coating with a metal oxide solution and/or an acetyl-acetone-chelate complex with a metal, which coating forms a sealing metal oxide coating during a subsequent heat treatment for the nano-crystallisation of the strip.
- ⁇ 0.5 ppm is set.
- the metal for the coating is advantageously an element selected from the group Mg, Zr, Be, Al, Ti, V, Nb, Ta, Ce, Nd, Gd, further elements of the 2 nd and 3 rd main groups and of the group of rare earth metals.
- the heat treatment is performed in a continuous process on non-stacked magnet cores in a field-free manner.
- the non-stacked magnet cores are placed on a carrier having a good thermal conductivity in the continuous annealing process.
- a carrier consists for example of a metal having a good thermal conductivity, such as copper, silver or heat-conducting steel.
- a bed of ceramic powder having a good thermal conductivity is also a suitable carrier.
- the annular strip cores can for example be placed endwise on copper plates with a thickness of at least 4 mm, preferably at least 6 mm and even better at least 10 mm. This contributes to the prevention of local overheating at the start of the exothermal crystallization, because the crystallization heat is dissipated effectively. In addition, it may be advantageous if the magnet core passes through the following temperature zones during the heat treatment:
- the dwell in the decay zone ensures that the crystallization heat decays before a further heating of the magnet core, thereby preventing local overheating.
- the heat treatment is carried out in an inert gas atmosphere of H 2 , N 2 and/or Ar, the dew point T P being ⁇ 25° C., preferably T P ⁇ 49.5° C.
- the strip is wound at a descending skew to produce the magnet core.

- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of an AC-sensitive RCD 1 which disconnects all poles of the monitored circuit from the rest of the network if a specified residual current is exceeded.
- the currents flowing through the RCD 1 are compared in a core-balance transformer 2 which adds the currents flowing to the load with correct signs. If a current in the circuit is discharged to earth, the sum of inward and return current in the core-balance transformer is unequal to zero; the result is a current differential leading to the response of the residual current device 1 and to the disconnection of the power supply.
- the core-balance transformer 2 has a magnet core 2 wound from a nanocrystalline, soft-magnetic strip.
- the RCD 1 further comprises a tripping relay 4 , a preloaded latching mechanism 5 and a test button 6 for manually checking the RCD 1 .
- FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic representation of a possible temperature curve of a heat treatment according to a method for producing a magnet core according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the temperature in the maturation zone is adapted to the composition of the respective batch in such a way that magnetostriction values become minimal.
- pre-samples are first produced and subjected to different temperatures T x between 540° C. and 600° C. in the maturation zone.
- the magnetostriction is then determined either directly on a piece of strip or indirectly on an undamaged core. Direct measurement can for example be performed by means of the SAMR method.
- An indirect method is a pressure test in which the circumference of the annular strip core is deformed into an oval, for example by 2%.
- the change in coercitive field strength which occurs in this process is determined by measuring the quasi-static hysteresis loop by means of a Remagraph.
- the batch-specific optimum value for T x can be read at the point where the change ⁇ H C is minimal or even tends towards zero.
- the humidity drawn into the furnace was detected by measuring the dew point of the H 2 inert gas by means of a device called PARAMETRICS MIS1. Before the entry of the annular strip cores into the heating zone, this was ⁇ 42° C., reaching a comparably high value of ⁇ 16° C. as the cores passed through the heating zone. Owing to the parasitic anisotropies of the two superimposed surface effects, the magnetic values of the annealed cores were not optimal.
- Suitable materials are dissolved substances the starting materials of which form a thermally stable oxide layer in the annealing process in an H 2 , N 2 or Ar inert gas atmosphere or mixtures thereof at temperatures up to 650° C. without being reduced by the effect of the inert gases.
- base materials for such coatings are Be, Mg, Al, Zr, Ti, V, Nb, Ta, Ce, Nd, Gd and other elements of the 2 nd and 3 rd main groups and the group of rare earth elements. These are applied to the strip surfaces in the form of metal alkoxide solutions in the corresponding alcohol or ether, e.g. methylate, ethylate, propylate or butylate solutions in the corresponding alcohol or ether, or alternatively as tri- or tetra-isopropyl alkoxides. Further alternatives are acetyl-acetone-chelate complexes with the above metals. Under the influence of atmospheric humidity, these are converted into the respective hydrated hydroxides in the subsequent drying process at 80° C.
- Typical layer thicknesses lie in the range of 0.05 to 5 ⁇ m, a layer thickness of 0.2 to 1 ⁇ m having sufficiently good properties and therefore being preferred in one embodiment.
- the application-relevant characteristic values influenced by surface effects are in particular the ⁇ (H) characteristic measured at 50 Hz, the quasi-static coercitive field strength and the remnant induction.
- At least three possible methods are available for applying the solution as starting product for the later formation of the sealing coating.
- the layer thicknesses referred to above can be obtained by adjusting concentration and by adapting the process parameters. If particularly thick layers are required, the process can be repeated.
- the strip is continuously drawn via deflection rollers through the coating medium placed in a trough. Immediately before being wound to form a core, it passes through a drying section at a controlled temperature of 80-200° C. This Method results in a particularly uniform coating. Thicker layers can be obtained by a repeated passage.
- the strip after being wound following its production, is dipped into the solution in a receiver in the form of a coil and evacuated. Owing to the effective capillary forces, which are sufficiently strong at a vacuum in the rough vacuum range of 10-300 mbar, the solution penetrates between the strip layers of the coil and wets the surfaces. The dried coils are then post-dried in a drying cabinet at 80-200° C. The coated strip is then wound to form magnet cores. This method is particularly economical.
- the cores wound from uncoated strip are dipped into the solution in a receiver. Following evacuation to the above vacuum, the solution penetrates between the strip layers and wets them. The dipped cores are then dried in a drying cabinet at 80-200° C.
- This method offers the advantage that the winding of the core cannot be affected by the coating medium on the strip surfaces.
- the concentration of the dissolved metals was varied in the various organic solvents within a wide range between 0.1% and 5% by weight without causing any significant changes in the magnetic values. At very low concentrations, however, standard deviations were found to increase.
- the first and second part-quantities remained uncoated, while the third part-quantity was coated with a solution of 3.6% Mg-methylate in a receiver in a dipping process.
- the rough vacuum generated by means of a rotary slide-valve pump was approximately 110 mbar at the end of evacuation time. After a dwell time of 15 minutes, the saturated coils were dried at 110° C. for one hour, resulting in an adhesive layer of hydrated Mg(OH) 2 with a thickness of 0.8 ⁇ m.
- Both the coated and the uncoated strips were then wound at a descending skew to produce strain-free annular strip cores having dimensions of 32 mm ⁇ 16 mm ⁇ 10 mm.
- 100 cores each were placed endwise in square copper plates having dimensions of 300 mm ⁇ 300 mm ⁇ 6 mm.
- the subsequent heat treatment was carried out entirely field-free in a continuous process at a temperature profile similar to that shown in FIG. 2 , the throughput speed through the heating zone being 0.16 m/min. Pure hydrogen with a dew point of ⁇ 50° C. was used as an inert gas. Contrary to the presentation in FIG. 2 , the temperature gradient in the first heating zone was increased such that the products reached a temperature of 480° C. after only 8 minutes. The temperature in the decay zone was not held constant, but increased to 505° C. along a 20 minute heating section. This was followed by a steep temperature gradient which the cores passed through within 3 minutes to reach the final maturation temperature T x . The passage through this temperature range was completed within 25 minutes. The cores were then cooled to room temperature at the same throughput speed in a cooling zone significantly longer than that shown in FIG. 2 in the presence of hydrogen of the same dew point. This greatly reduced cooling rate was chosen to avoid cooling-related strain effects.
- the remanence ratio of B R /B S was approximately 77%.
- the strip surfaces of the cores were checked by means of optical microscopy.
- FIG. 7 shows, the air pockets on the underside of the strip were stratified with a dense layer of crystalline deposits which resulted in major parasitic anisotropies and a considerable degradation of the magnetic values.
- the surface analysis likewise performed on the underside of the strip by means of XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy—cf. Stefan Huffier, “Photoelectron Spectroscopy Principles and Applications”, Springer, 3 rd edition, 1995/1996/2003) showed in the depth profile according to FIG. 9 in addition the existence of a highly straining SiO 2 surface layer, which leads to major parasitic anisotropies.
- the structure of this layer is due to a segregation of Si atoms from the strip interior, followed by oxidation by residual atmospheric impurities.
- the dew point was varied between ⁇ 20° C. and ⁇ 55° C. by mixing humidified and dry H 2 gas.
- a device PARAMETRICS MIS1 was used to measure the dew point.
- test cores were annealed on copper plates using the temperatures described with reference to FIG. 2 .
- all cores proved to be magnetostrictive in a deformation test and could therefore not be processed using the single-trough method commonly applied to magnetostriction-free cores. Special non-straining single-trough methods were required.
- strip of the composition Fe 73.13 Co 0.17 Cu 1 Nb 3 Si 15.8 B 6.9 and having a width of 6 mm was cast on the melt spinning line until the originally almost perfect surface of the casting roll exhibited considerable traces of wear. This wear resulted along the length of the strip in a continuous quality loss reflected in increased surface roughness.
- the cast strip was wound into coils of approximately the same size, and samples were taken from the beginning, the middle and the end of the coil.
- the completely wound coils were coated with three layers of a solution of 19% Zr-tetra-isopropyl alkoxide and then dried for one hour at 130° C.
- the whole strip was then wound into cores having dimensions of 26 mm ⁇ 10 mm ⁇ 6 mm in a strain-free process, maintaining the sequence of cores and their assignment to the original coils. This made it possible to assign to specific cores positions within the coils and therefore a value for R a (eff).
- the ⁇ 1 values of the cores were measured at 50 Hz and plotted above the effective roughness in FIG. 14 .
- an effective roughness of R a (eff) 7% is required for obtaining ⁇ 1 ⁇ 100 000. If ⁇ 1 is to be higher than 160 000, R a (eff) has to be less than 5%, and for ⁇ 1 ⁇ 200 000 even less than 2.5%.
- the cores could be bonded into a plastic trough by means of silicone rubber or installed loosely into a plastic or metal protective trough by means of a mechanically damping foam rubber ring without changing their permeability in a significant way.
- the results of the investigation are summarised in Table 1.
- the mark *) indicates fixing with silicone rubber and the mark **) indicates strain-free fixing with a high-viscosity acrylate adhesive.
